A skateboard comprises a deck including a first layer formed of synthetic
material, a second layer formed of synthetic material and substantially
coplanar with the first layer, and a middle layer substantially coplanar
with and coupled between the first layer and the second layer. The middle
layer is formed of synthetic material defining an elongated opening
extending lengthwise from a front portion of the deck to a rear portion
of the deck. An elongated member is formed of spring steel extending
lengthwise within the elongated opening and spaced from at least one
surface thereof to allow relative movement between the elongated member
and the elongated opening. A truck assembly includes a baseplate coupled
to the second layer and having a pivot arm hole, a first kingpin hole and
a spring holder. The truck assembly further includes an axle housing
having a second kingpin hole, a first and second end.
